Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

Now they're exhorting us to buy presents for the neighbours whose names we don't even know.

I'm generous but I live on a longish road.

It's a good way to keep them sweet

The little bit of paper in the tin tells you what the chocolates are called

Call me horrible but I gave up with Christmas cards for all my neighbours a few years ago, I can't see the point of it, why send cards to people you don't even nod to?!

My immediate neighbours get a card and I know their names.

The ad featured things like, "that bloke you pass on the stairs" as the people to pop in to TK Maxx for whom to find the perfect present.

Christmas is a struggle for most people but hey let's all pop into the shop and buy gifts for every Tom dick and Harry!!

I have no problem doing the shoe box appeals for the kiddies that are needy or buying a coffee or hot chocolate for the guy that needs one but not Darren down the corridor who has everything!!

I've had everybody from Judges to the homeless as neighbours and knowing their names is standard. In the coldest days of winter it's tough knowing someone is sleeping with snow on them just a few feet away outside, whilst we're warm inside, and yet they never begged for any money or food: but was happy to chat to them and give them some food.

I know most people in the street and we all largely look out for each other. One took me to a meet once and made sure I was safe.

I give gifts to my friends and am not big on Christmas cards.

I know all my neighbours and a lot of people on my road but I won't be buying them presents.

We shall have a drink with them over the festive period though.

Apart from that bastard opposite, he's a miserable sod.

It's a nice gesture. When we had that mad snow a few years back, the gritters wouldn't come down our street, so we all cleared it together, we shared sweets and chatted, it was lovely, now I have many new friends on my street, it's amazing how strangers come together when they need to.

I don't know any of my neighbours names, don't want to either. Hell, I don't even know the names of 2 of the 4 peoples I share the house with. Fucked if i'm wasting any of my time writing 'em a card, let alone buying them a present!!

Bah Humbug

I don't even speak to my neighbour, creepy, -growing asshole that has police constantly at his door. The only gift he'll be getting is the "houses to rent" cutting from the local newspaper!

Maybe they like a bargain?

Can't stand TK Maxx, it's too jumbled for me and there's never anything I like.

I know my 4 immediate neighbours to talk to, all of whom are over 70. Will be writing them cards and possibly invite them round for a mince pie but not presents, that would be a bit weird.

It took me a while to work out it was a Christmas ad and then I couldn't work out who they were advertising until the name came up.

I think it would be good as a middle of the year type advert. But for Christmas just noooo!

The neighbours. The Roses have a handy bit of paper with the names on. My neighbours should take heed.

It would help. There's a man about 10 doors up the street and after 23 years I'm still not sure if his name is David or Peter. After all this time I don't want to ask.

My next door neighbour is convinced my husband is called Geoffrey (he isn't). I've sent her cards and notes for spurious reasons 4 times this year signing off with the correct names to no effect, so he's going to just have to go with it.

As my sister is one of my neighbours we're used to people mixing us up. I think if Peter/David sent me a note with the correct name I'd remember but after the initial introduction 23 years ago we've never used names.

I can't see you with a Geoffrey.
